The construction of the old slaughterhouse from the second half of the nineteenth century behind the design of Domenico Barabino, the slaughterhouse was active until 1966 when it was inauguarato the modern slaughterhouse in Via Po
Originally, the plan of the structure was characterized by a large courtyard consists of a central block and four corner buildings, two of which were later demolished for the widening of via Sonnino, and a huge tank in the open.
There are also the busts veal (heads of cattle) in marble in the main building, along the outer wall, and larger, above the entrance door outside.
After many years of inactivity, the slaughterhouse has been renovated with a lot of changes in the inner square and the other, the meticulous restoration of the buildings while preserving the architectural line of the nineteenth century, and was opened to the public in 1993.

Hi Gianfranco
love this! The image is so beautifully composed but it is the intrigue of the reflection that makes it so special. Excellent imagery! Totally original and a superb observation. Your trademark!

The sensitivity of capturing the reflection is absolutely facinating. Otherwise the simplicity of composition is appealing. The cow's head appropriately identifies the slaughterhouse. The photograph is soft in tone and the light colours on the walls on either side of the door creates the contrast with the dark and deep frame of the doorway. Lovely !
Thanks.

Hi Gianfranco,
Excellent simple graphic aspect this photo, it is empty but filled at the same time. This well composed image taken from a lower angle and using simple composition rules makes the entrance with the reflections appear dominant. Nicely done.

Hello Gianfranco,
Very beautiful and creative this beautiful colorful image of the house with colors that stand out. Nice POV from the bottom to 'high. Congratulations on the good work.
Enjoy the day,
Regards,
Maria

I like the way you have used creativity to capture the reflection. It looks so real giving a nice depth. The colors of the wall on the sides of the glass window make a nice contrast against the soft colors of the reflection.
